DESCRIPTION: A Victorian Scottish whiskey cup, hand-made fromhighland cattle horn. It dates to the 1860s - 1870s. It is 3" tall and is all opaque cream and tan horn with a very soft, subtle natural pattern. The surface is only lightly smoothed - not polished, and the set-in bottom is hand-cut black horn. Please enlarge my photos for clear close views. Another piece of history from the extensive personal Scottish antique horn cup collection of The Rook and the... Raven.
CONDITION: This sturdy horn cup is a fine piece for display or use, an heirloom to be cherished. I let water stand in it overnight. At this moment it does not leak. Any antique horn cup may develop leaks overtime with disuse. Natural horn may dry out, shrink, and warp a bit. Usually, to keep a horn cup leak-proof, just fill it every night with whiskey! It will stay in fine condition. If you want to drink from it, it will have to be thoroughly cleaned - but do not ever put it in the dishwasher. I find no damage.
I am listing several more antique horn cups, large and small, this week, as well as both small and large horn spoons, horn brooches, and three gorgeous large ladles. Why not have a look by clicking on the horn department on the left side of this page.
NOTE: The cups in my last photo are not part of this sale. I added it here only to show you all the many sizes, shapes, patterns of antique Scottish horn cups I offer. This listing, however, is for only one cup as shown in the first seven photos.
Payment: I require payment within two days of the sale. CA residents pay 8% sales tax according to state law.
Posting: I will send out your horn cup by first class mail on the same day that I receive your payment. I can combine multiple items for shipping to save postage cost as long as they are purchased and paid for on the same day. Use the shopping cart feature and click on "commit to buy and request total" link for discounted invoice.
Returns:If you have concerns when this cup arrives, click on "Contact Seller" link for immediate attention. US traders only. I no longer ship internationally.
